Durable phosphorus-based flame retardants were applied to twill fabrics con taining cotton and wool to study the effect of wool on the flame retardancy and physical properties of the blend fabrics. The presence of wool in untreated blend fabrics caused burning rates to decrease and oxygen index values to increase as wool content increased in the blends. These effects were also observed in cotton/ wool blends treated with low levels of the Thps-urea-TMM flame retardant, but were less pronounced in fabrics treated at high levels. Thermogravimetric analyses were conducted to study the thermal degradation of the treated and untreated fabrics. The presence of wool in treated blend fabrics did not sig nificantly change strength retention, area shrinkage and wrinkle recovery values in comparison to similarly treated 100% cotton fabrics.

Abstract In this study, intumescent flame retardant coating of polyethylenimine/phytic acid (PEI/PA) with gradient structure was constructed on cotton fabric through facile layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly method. The LOI value of coated cotton fabric reached over 40% indicating excellent flame retardancy. Reasonable controlling the LBL assembly process of PEI/PA coating brought less influence to the physical properties of cotton fabrics. And the coated cotton fabric revealed good flame retardant washing durability. Thermogravimetric analysis results of coated cotton fabrics showed that PEI/PA flame retardant coating changed the thermal decomposition process and promoted char formation revealing the obviously condensed phase flame retardant action. SEM images of char residues revealed that PEI/PA flame retardant coating promoted to form the intumescent flame retardant (IFR) char layer showing obvious IFR action. This research provides novel strategy for the development of high-efficiency flame retardant cotton fabric with good durability and physical properties using simple LBL assembly method.

In this paper, the sol-gel method was used for in-situ synthesis of SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) on cotton fabrics with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) in the presence of acid and alkaline indicators. The samples were characterized using by (X-ray diffraction) XRD, (scanning electron Microscopy) SEM, (Inductively coupled plasma) ICP, water drop test and also the flame retardant properties were studied by char yield. The SEM images showed that the nanoparticles are spherical in shape and the acidity or alkalinity of the medium has an effect on the formation of particles. The XRD patterns showed the typical diffraction of amorphous SiO2 (Si-O short-order structure), also ICP analysis showed that by washing the fabrics, the nanoparticles are still present on the fabric, and this indicated the stability of the washing of the fabrics impregnated with the nanoparticles. By in-situ synthesis of SiO2 nanoparticles, the flame retardant properties have been improved significantly and the amount of residual char was increased and samples were observed to be hydrophilic.

To improve the water solubility of phosphoramidate siloxane and decrease the amount of flame-retardant additives used in the functional coating for cotton fabrics, a water-soluble phosphoramidate siloxane polymer (PDTSP) was synthesized by sol-gel technology and flame-retardant cotton fabrics were prepared with a multistep coating process. A vertical flammability test, limited oxygen index (LOI), thermogravimetric analysis, and cone calorimetry were performed to investigate the thermal behavior and flame retardancy of PDTSP-coated fabrics. The coated cotton fabrics and their char residues after combustion were studied by attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). All results presented that PDTSP-coated cotton fabrics had good flame retardancy and char-forming properties. PDTSP coating was demonstrated to posess gas-phase flame-retardant mechanism as well as a condensed phase flame-retardant mechanism, which can be confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TG-IR) and cone calorimetry test. Also, the preparation process had little effect on the tensile strength of cotton fabrics, although the air permeability and whiteness had a slight decrease. After different washing cycles, the coated samples still maintained good char-forming properties.

The development of novel flame retardants for cotton textiles that form a stable layer on textile fiber is of high economical and practical relevance. A novel flame retardant fluorinated phosphoric acid esters modified silicone resins for cotton modification were synthesized. The investigated phosphoric acid esters based compounds were substituted by a fluorinated chain or ring, and alkoxysilyl groups. The presence of alkoxysilyl groups allowed the formation of bonds with cellulose, while derivatives of phosphoric esters reduced the flammability of fabrics. Additionally, the presence of fluoride in their structures affected the hydrophobic properties. Cotton fabrics were modified in a simple one-step process by dip-coating method. The flame retardant properties of modified textiles were examined by performing microcalorimetric analysis, thermogravimetry analysis, and measuring oxygen index. The hydrophobicity was evaluated by measuring the water contact angle. The modified fabrics were characterized by SEM-EDS (Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy) analysis and surface morphology. As a result of the tests, multifunctional fabrics were obtained.

During this research, Magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles were synthesised synthesized using Licorice root extract. Synthesized nanoparticles have been characterized using FT-IR, TEM and XRD. The analysis confirmed that the nanoparticles size were ranged from 20 to 40 nm with cubic structure. This nanoparticle was used in the formulation with new synthesised composite containing phosphor, nitrogen and silicon to enhance thermal and flame retardant properties of cotton fabrics. This composite has synthesised via reaction of 3-(hydroxy(phenyl)phosphoryl)propanoic acid and Triethanolamine, and then with triethoxy(3-isocyanatopropyl)silane. Prepared composite was confirmed through NMR and FT-IR measurements. Treated fabric with prepared composite and nanoparticles have been evaluated through elemental analysis, TGA, LOI, antibacterial, mechanical and physical properties. The nanoparticle coated fabrics with prepared composite showed a good degree of microbial resistance and excellent fire proofing rating
